This is a federal program providing help for the farmer that he might help himself for greater efficiency in producing food for the nation's wants. Course No. 5. as set up, is one which deals with the repair and construction of farm machinery and equipment. And in the pait mast of the work has been done at the high school shop during the evenings. This year a number of leaders have been encouraged to organize and set up their own shops to accomodate the farmers in their locality. The leaders and cents set up and now ready to serve are: Earl Compton at Thatcher Milton Marble at Bothwell, Joseph Oyler at East Garland and Bear River high school. These men and equipmen they have in their phops, are hired by the schoool dis trict to give what help is needed in farm machinery repair and con struction of equipment. But for them to serve, farmers must or ganize themselves into groups of five or more, so the instructors can afford to spend their time in this work.

A nephew who went u tne field to investie-atsome water, noticed Mr. Rhodes car and went to talk to him. Upon in vestigation, he found the body lying face down in the bottom of the ravine. Appearances at the scene indicated that Mr. Rhodes had encountered some difficulty with the tractor and endeavored to back it and in so doing had run too close to the edge of the ravine which, allowed the tractor to run off the edge and turn over a time or two. He was apparently struck by something in the fall, as his chest was crushed and his left arm broken. It is thought that he was able to move a short distance away after being injured. It is not known when the accident occured, but a neighbor is quite certain he saw the victim Wednesday morning, so it is assumed he was killed sometime that day. Mrs. Rhodes and their daughter live in Logan, and he lived In a cabin on the farm, returning to his Logan home on weekends. He was about 49 years old. His parents are dead.
